Penn President Amy Gutmann is a national advocate for affordable education, architect of Penn Compact 2020, and author of Spirit of Compromise: Why Governing Demands It and Campaigning Undermines It.
The Penn Compact “expresses our boldest aspirations for higher education—a compact based on our shared understanding that ‘Divided we fail. United we flourish.’”
Dr. Gutmann works with the deans of Penn’s 12 schools and senior administrators across the University to establish and advance Penn’s highest strategic priorities.

BUILDING ON A DECADE OF PROGRESS
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2020 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
We call this ‘2020 Vision,’ and with it we answer complexity with clarity, achieve excellence with diversity, and open doors for students of all backgrounds by opening Penn’s doors to them.
